New LED Lights and Ceiling Going Up

Light Installation

On Sept 18, Genesis began the installation of 216 state-of-the-art LED fixtures. This was the easiest part of the project and is now complete. There are many advantages to the new lighting system: 3x the light, cleaner and more consistent light, and lower electricity usage. The lights also maintain a higher level for a longer period of time. We thank you for your patience and flexibility during this time. For more information on our lights and ceiling, click HERE.

Reflective Ceiling Installation

On Monday, Sept 25, we began installing a reflective ceiling application. This will also improve light levels and overall optical pleasantries. This will be the longest part of the two processes, taking almost 4 weeks, and will also be the messiest. We will do our best to keep the dust to a minimum, and to keep the courts clean. Again, we ask for your support.

We will communicate via phone calls if your court time has been canceled, or if you've been moved to a different court due to this process. For any additional questions, please contact Woody at woody@genesishealthclubs.com.

Electronic Court Sheets: we are going electronic with our court sheets. This will reduce errors and provide future opportunities for our members.

Tip of the Month: "Keep OUT!" That's right, the net is not your friend. When you miss in the net, you are way off. The ball should travel 3-6 feet over the net. Volleys should clear by 2-4ft. Even the pros hit at this height. (On TV, it looks like they are just clearing the top of the net. Wrong! They have more clearance than it looks.) Give it a try and let us know how it is working for you.

Give it to Us: We want your feedback - constructive or a good ole "pat on the back", we appreciate your input. So give us a shout at tennis@genesishealthclubs.com.
